3 Newstead Drive is a detached house in Southam (CV47 0LT). It has a recorded floor area of 195 m² (around 2099 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1967-1975. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since April 2015. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 28 years, with the last transfer in September 1998. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £653,000 sits 308.1% above the 1998 sale of £160,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£76/sq ft) was about 54.2% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2021. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 195 m² it's 18.9% larger than the typical home in the postcode (164 m² median across 7 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs).
